Than thou, Laoclamia ! Tame and cold Was all their passion, all their love to thine : When thou to thy enamoured breast didst fold Thy blooming lord in ecstasy divine.
As fond, as fair, as thou, so came the maid, Who is my life, and to my bosom clung ; While Cupid round her flattering, arrayed In saffron vest, a radiance o'er her flung. " — (C. Ixviii. ) M.
CHAPTEE VI.
THE ROMAN-ALEXANDRINE AND LONGER POEMS OF CATULLUS.
That portion of the poetry of Catullus which has been considered hitherto i...s doubtless the most genuine and original ; but, with the exception of the two epitha- lamia, the poems now to be examined, as moulded on the Alexandrine form and subjects, are perhaps the more curious in a literary point of view. Contrasting with the rest of his poetry in their lack of " naturalism essentially Eoman and republican, " they savour undis- guisedly of that Eoman - Alexandrinism in poetry which first sprang up in earnest among the contem- poraries of Cicero and CiBsar, and grew with all the more rapidity OAving to the frequent visits of the Eomans to the Greek provinces, and the increasing influx of the Greek literati into Eome.
